Among the technologies studied for this purpose are those which use Ionic liquids that have the advantage of having very low vapor pressures, higher density than water, a low melting point and a desorption low energy; These qualities that make them environmentally friendly solvents, compared with volatile organic solvents. Moreover ionic liquids are chemically and thermally stable and can be used at relatively high temperatures, its physical-chemical properties can be designed by varying the substitutive groups of the cation or the combined ion. These characteristics make ionic liquids potentially important for the development of new processes focused on the mitigation of global warming. Otherwise the ionic liquids have a high viscosity, they are expensive making them economically unfeasible for use in conventional processes with liquid gas absorption columns. On the other side are available in the market the bubble glass that have several applications in the industry, have low cost, high chemical and physical resistance. This work evaluated in isochoric saturation cell, the carbon dioxide solubility in mixed systems with boron silicate bubble glass, with volumetric concentrations of 5% to 50%, in the ionic liquids [Bmim][BF4] and [mBmim] [NTf2] as well as with pure ionic liquids. Data are reported at 27 Bar pressure and at temperatures 303, 313, and 323 K. Mixed systems with 50% concentration of bubble glass showed the best results of sorption and cost for both ionic liquids. / Nos ?ltimos anos existe na comunidade cient?fica um crescente interesse em estudar agentes de sor??o de di?xido de carbono ambientalmente amig?veis para serem utilizados em substitui??o aos solventes qu?micos baseados em aminas. Entre as tecnologias estudadas para este fim est?o aquelas que utilizam os l?quidos I?nicos (LI). Estes compostos apresentam como caracter?stica diferencial baix?ssima press?o de vapor, densidade maior que a da ?gua, baixo ponto de fus?o e baixa energia de regenera??o; qualidades estas que os tornam solventes ambientalmente amig?veis quando comparados com os solventes org?nicos vol?teis. Por?m a alta viscosidade e custo limitam o uso dos Lis. Estudos realizados com sistemas mistos de LIs e part?culas s?lidas tem mostrado que tais part?culas podem potencializar a a??o dos Lis, assim se identificou as microesferas de vidro, dispon?veis no mercado, onde possuem diversas aplica??es na ind?stria, baixo custo, alta resist?ncia qu?mica e f?sica. Neste trabalho foram avaliados sistemas mistos (Lis + microesferas de vidro boro silicato) visando melhorar as propriedades dos Lis. Para avaliar estes novos sistemas foram obtidos em c?lula de satura??o isoc?rica, dados experimentais de solubilidade do di?xido de carbono, nas concentra??es volum?tricas de 5% a 50%. Foram avaliados os LIs [Bmim] [BF4] e [mBmim] [NTf2] para obter os sistemas mistos, assim como puros. Os dados s?o reportados na press?o de 27 Bar e nas temperaturas 303, 313, e 323 K. Os sistemas mistos com concentra??o de 50% de microesferas apresentaram os melhores resultados combinados de capacidade de sor??o e custo para ambos os l?quidos i?nicos.

Ubiquitinbindande protein 2-liknande (UBAP2L) och Ras GTPas-aktiverande proteinsbindande protein 1 (G3BP1) är två kärn-RNA-bindande proteiner (RBPs) som är involverade i bildandet av SGs. Nyligen genomförda studier föreslog att UBAP2L kan fungera som ett upströmsprotein till G3BP1/2 med förmågan att främja SG-bildning oberoende. NTF2-domänen dimeriserar G3BP1 och bildar en plattform för protein-protein-interaktioner. Dess interaktion med UBAP2L-DUF-regionen var avgörande för bildandet av mogna SG. Detta projekt syftade till att avslöja protein-protein-interaktionen mellan G3BP1 och UBAP2L in vitro och karakterisera den kända interaktionen mellan G3BP1-NTF2 och UBAP2L-DUF-regionen. I detta projekt renades homodimeren av G3BP1-NTF2-domänen och komplexades med en syntetiserad peptid som motsvarar rester 505–534 av UBAP2L (UBAP2L 505-534). Låga diffraktionskristallträffar erhölls genom att co-kristallisera G3BP1-NTF2 med peptiden. Ytterligare optimeringar krävs fortfarande. Tre konstruktioner av UBAP2L (N, C och L) designades och utsattes för reningsförsök. Fullängds-G3BP1 renades för att identifiera domäninteraktionen inom UBAP2L-konstruktionerna. Pull-down-testet med His-G3BP och samuttrycket av G3BP1/UBAP2L-N föreslog en mycket svag interaktion mellan G3BP1 och UBAP2L-N. Med tanke på de tillgängliga resultaten från vår studie och co-IP-tester från andra publicerade artiklar bör vi fokusera mer på studien av G3BP2, som föreslogs spela en mer direkt roll i att binda UBAP2L. / Ubiquitin Binding Protein 2-like (UBAP2L) and Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) are two core RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) involved in the assembly of SGs. Recent studies suggested that UBAP2L might serve as an upstream protein of G3BP1/2 with the ability to promote SG assembly independently. The NTF2 domain dimerizes G3BP1 and forms a platform for protein-protein interactions. Its interaction with the UBAP2L-DUF region was critical for mature SG formations. This project aimed to reveal the protein-protein interaction between G3BP1 and UBAP2L in vitro and characterize the known interaction between G3BP1-NTF2 and UBAP2L-DUF region. In this project, the G3BP1-NTF2 domain homodimer was purified and complexed UBAP2L-DUF derived peptide. Low diffraction crystal hits were obtained by co-crystallizing G3BP1-NTF2 with a synthesized peptide corresponding to residues 505 – 534 of UBAP2L (UBAP2L 505-534). While further optimizations are still required. Three constructs of UBAP2L (N, C, and L) were designed and subjected to purification trials.  Full-length G3BP1 was purified to identify the domain interaction within UBAP2L constructs. The his-G3BP pull-down assay and co-expression of G3BP1/UBAP2L-N suggested a very weak interaction between G3BP1 and UBAP2L-N. Considering the available results from our study and co-IP assays from other published papers, we should focus more on the study of G3BP2 which was suggested to play a more direct role in binding UBAP2L.
